4. Saad Bin Hisham Bin Amir decided to participate in the expedition for the sake of Allah; so he came to Medina and he decided to dispose of his property there and buy arms and horses instead and fight against the Romans to the end of his life. When he came to Medina; he met the people of Medina. They dissuaded him to do such a thing; and informed him that a group of six men had decided to do so during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade them to do it; and said: Is there not for you a model pattern in me? And when they narrated this to him Saad Bin Hisham ; he returned to his wife; though he had divorced her and made people witness to his reconciliation. He then came to Ibn Abbas and asked him about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Abbas said: Should I not lead you to one who knows best amongst the people of the world about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He said: Who is it? He Ibn Abbas said: It is Aisha. So go to her and ask her about Witr and then come to me and inform me about her answer that she would give you. So I came to Hakim Bin Aflah and requested him to take me to her.

He would use the tooth stick; and perform ablution; and would offer nine rakahs; and would not sit but in the eighth one and would remember Allah; and praise Him and supplicate Him; then he would get up without uttering the salutation and pray the ninth rakah. He would then sit; remember; praise Him and supplicate Him and then utter a salutation loud enough for us to hear. He would then pray two rakahs sitting after uttering the salutation; and that made eleven rakahs. O my son; but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew old and put on flesh; he observed Witr of seven; doing in the two rakahs as he had done formerly; and that made nine. O my son; and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed prayer; he liked to keep on observing it; and when sleep or pain overpowered him and made it impossible for him to observe prayer in the night; he prayed twelve rakahs daring the day. I am not aware of Allah Prophet ﷺ having recited the whole Quran during one single night; or praying through the night till morning; or fasting a complete month; except Ramadan. He the narrator said: I then went to Ibn Abbas and narrated to him the hadith transmitted from her ; and he said: She says the truth If I went to her and got into her presence; I would have listened to it orally from her.

I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses; but he proceeded on; I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole surah in a rakah; but he proceeded and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing this surah. He then started AlNisa; and recited it; he then started Ali-Imran and recited leisurely. And when he recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah; he glorified by saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great ; and when he recited the verses which tell how the Lord is to be begged; he the Holy Prophet would then beg from Him ; and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the Lord; he sought His protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing and then on returning to the standing posture after ruku he would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him; and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say: Glory be to my Lord most High; and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing. In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the words are: He the Holy Prophet would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him; our Lord; to Thee i the praise. SahihMuslim-017-001-23873

Ask not about their excellence and their length i. e. these were matchless in perfection and length. He again observed four rakahs; and ask not about their excellence and their length. He would then observe three rakahs of the Witr prayer. Aisha again said: I said: Messenger of Allah; do you sleep before observing the Witr prayer? He said: O Aisha; my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep. SahihMuslim-017-001-23783
